Following the completion of the Nigerian part of its
shooting, Kunle Afolayan, producer of highly anticipated
flick, The CEO, has said that his crew will resume work in
Paris from October 9 to 12.
The actor/producer also revealed that he is scouting for
a talented South African actress between the ages of age
25 to 40 to play a small, but significant role in the movie.
Afolayan, also revealed that the movie, which is a pan African project, will also
take place in other countries aside Nigeria; South Africa,
Kenya, Morocco, Paris, and other parts of Africa.
The impressive cast of the movie include Grammy
Award-winning singer, songwriter, entertainer and
activist from the Republic of Benin, Angélique Kidjo;
Haitan actor and model Jimmy Jean-Louis; consummate
actor and founder of the New Nigeria Cinema movement,
Wale Ojo; French-Ivorian actress and model, Aurelie

Moroccan star, Fatim Layachi; Kenyan actor Peter King,
and Nigerian actress, Hilda Dokubo among others.
The CEO tells the story of TransWire Communications, a
global phone network with major operation in Nigeria.
The CEO, an expatriate, has retired, hence the Global
Chairman has decided to send five nominees amongst
his most senior level staff across Africa on a Leadership
course in order to determine which one to appoint as the
new head of its Nigerian branch.
Five characters arrive from their respective destinations
and check into the beach resort where the course is
holding. Although they all appear cordial and chummy
with each other, they all know what is at stake – they
each desperately want the CEO’s chair. And to this
purpose, they attempt to covertly outdo one another
throughout the duration of the course until a dead body
is washed ashore, leading to a stream of intrigues and
in-fighting among them
